| [Dhaka Tribune] Law enforcers have found a new den of Ansarullah Bangla Team in the capital’s Dakkhinkhan area and recovered hand bombs and a sizeable cache of bomb-making materials from there. Mashruqure Rahman Khaled, deputy commissioner of DB Police (South), confirmed the news to the Dhaka Tribune. "As part of our ongoing crackdown on holy warriors, a joint team of detectives and members of Counter-terrorism and Transnational Crime Unit raided a house in Dakkhinkhan and recovered two hand bombs and a large cache of bomb-making materials," he said. Detectives suspect that the house was being used as a bomb-making training centre of the banned outfit. The raid was carried out around 11pm Saturday and the two bombs were defused yesterday morning by the Bomb Disposal Unit, Khaled said, adding that forces of Evil living in the house might have fled after sensing the presence of law enforcers. In a similar raid on February 19, police nabbed Yez got nuttin' on me, coppers! Nuttin'! two members of the banned holy warrior outfit in Badda and busted an Ansarullah explosives den in Mohammadpur. Saturday’s raid was carried out based on information extracted during the remand of those two suspects, Deputy Commissioner Khaled said. He said the two-bedroom flat was rented three months ago by two persons identifying themselves as students. One of the rooms was being used to make bombs, while many others used to visit the flat as well. The security guard of the building has been detained for questioning. |
